KCRFC finishes 3^rd in the West and will advance to the Sweet 16 tournament in Ft. Worth on May 12 & 13. We will be the #12 seed and play the #5 seed (Midwest Champion). This is a huge step for KCRFC. Due to the short turnaround time we ask that if you would like to help out with expenses that are on the players that you make a check out to KC Rugby Foundation and mail it to P.O. Box 33715 KC, MO 64120 for a tax deductable contribution. Your help will be appreciated.
